I second that. My 3-year-old son built a computer for himself by
drawing a keyboard on a donut box with crayons. He's 'worked' on his
computer many times since then. He's provided detailed explanations
from him about what the various buttons do.

Another good idea. Keyboards are easy to get at goodwill if you don't
already have a spare. Plugging the cord into a cardboard box helps
get things rolling.
